Setting origin point

Coding Python Support
1

I need help for a game. Basically I want the room to rotate around the player. But the room has to rotate around the player, so I thought maybe I should set the origin point to the player and then rotate it. But I don’t know if that is possible. Maybe someone could tell me how to, or an alternate method that works.

Have you downloaded the latest Blender Python API
from http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Extensions/Python ?

Under Object Operators there is an origin_set;
noob am I, but that’s where I would start exploring. :smiley:

Thanks for this, but I’m a bit of a noob too, so yeah. I don’t think I phrased it right. I meant change the origin point, but leave the room unaffected.

Ah!
But that leads to an almost trivial solution: rotate the CAMERA!
